Opening quote: "The will to conquer is the first condition of victory."
Nick (David Giuntoli) has just found that Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) and Renard (Sasha Roiz) were kissing in the spice shop. He is then called to investigate the deaths of the Hundjägers he and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) killed.
Renard enters the trailer to find the key, but he can't find it. In the station, they find footage of the hotel where Monroe (face unseen) is followed by the Hundjägers. Monroe calls Rosalee (Bree Turner) so they can work on a cure for Juliette and Renard. Renard visits Juliette and they continue kissing, something Nick is watching from distance. He gets out of the car, planning on confronting them but receives a call from Monroe, who claims that Rosalee can find a way to cure them. In the house, they begin agreeing or disagreeing about having sex, so Juliette takes Renard's gun and begins shooting in the house so he is forced to leave.
Adalind (Claire Coffee) is freed from the jail but is forced by Renard to come with him to a lake. He tells her to "fix" him but she states that although she can't, she can make it "better" and they have sex. In the station, Renard finally finds the key in Nick's desk and takes it. In the spice shop, Monroe finally deduces that Renard is the boss, or called "Royal" in Portland for the purification spell and that they need Juliette and Renard to take it. However, another ingredient required is Adalind's cat and as it died, Nick will be forced to drink the antidote.
Renard lies to Adalind that he didn't find the key and calls Nick to meet in a specific place. They meet at the Postman's house where Nick attacks Renard and he finally finds out that he is a Wesen. Renard explains that he came to give him the key and he knew Nick was a Grimm even before Nick and he is on his side. In the spice shop, Nick takes the antidote and passes through the same pain process Renard went through. In Vienna, Adalind has a pregnancy test and smiles when it shows positive.
